主题：地点非耦合性引发的完成体：以湘语小龙门方言的动词前TAU为例

    (合作者：刘霞博士，湘潭大学)

内容简介：

It is observed that a pre-verbal morpheme TAU in the Xiaolongmen dialect indicates the moving of the subject to a specific location to perform an action at some time before the utterance time. Furthermore, the semantics of TAU conveys following two essential implications: (1) The location of the subject must be non-coincident with the location of the event embedded in a TAU-sentence; (2) by the utterance time, the subject has already left this location and the involved action on a par has been completed or terminated. We argue that semantically TAU serves as a locative predicate which achieves event anchoring by utilizing the non-coincidence relationship between the event location and the location of the event initiator. Its past tense interpretation and the meaning of perfectivity thus result from the locative non-coincidence. Moreover, TAU-sentences highlight the intentionality of the subject’s moving to somewhere, which can be strengthened through pragmatic reasoning by applying Modus Tollens.

小龙门方言的动前词TAU表示在说话前的某一时刻，主语移动到一个特定的位置去做一个动作。此外，“TAU”的语义表达了以下两个基本含义:(1)主语所处的位置必须与事件所处的位置不一致;(2)在说话时，主语已经离开这个位置，所涉及的par动作已经完成或终止。我们认为在语义上TAU是一种定位谓词，它利用事件位置与事件发起者位置之间的非重合关系来实现事件锚定。它的过去时解释和完备性的意义是由位置非重合的结果。此外，动词句强调主语移向某处的意向性，这种意向性可以通过使用情态动词进行语用推理来加强。
